DESCRIPTION
Alyssum spinosum produces masses of tiny, four-petaled white to soft pink flowers in mid to late spring, covering the branches and attracting bees and other early pollinators. Small, narrow gray-green leaves are softly hairy and closely spaced along rigid, thorny stems, forming a dense, finely textured mound that remains attractive throughout the year. The intricate branching creates a naturally sculptural framework, while the profusion of blooms softens the plant's spiny character during the flowering season.
Native to the rocky hillsides of the Mediterranean region, this species is well adapted to rugged landscapes and exposed sites. It is well suited to rock gardens, gravel plantings, retaining walls, and Mediterranean-style borders, where its evergreen foliage, intricate branching, and spring flowers provide year-round texture and seasonal interest.
